I tried the program. Registered it. Enter a bunch of info and saved. When I restarted my computer all of my info and folder disappeared.
Re-entered all my info in my folder again and when I restarted my computer it was gone again. All that stays is the sample stuff. uninstalled, what a waste of time.

I think it was a recommendation from Giovanni on this site (I'm a supporter of his). It's a simple .exe file only 53kb in size and is coupled with a .txt file (notepad) created by the user. Once I figured out how to work it, it has been an invaluable time saver. (For example, to type my first name immediately after this text, all I will do is type {comma followed by b}.), or to type my full street address, with carriage returns, I put 81 after the comma. It works like autocorrect in the major WP programs, but can be used in nearly all applications.

Typertext achieves what (I think) this program sets out to do but with much less fuss and more quickly, which is why the current offering has no appeal for me even if I were to ignore the many negative comments.

@34, Uncle Eddy: Actually, PhraseExpress indeed is freeware for personal use. I've been using it as such for years and just downloaded, yesterday, its latest version--all free and continuing as such, despite what you write (were you looking at the wrong webpage?).

#9, 16, 29: There are perfectly good possible explanations for UpClock office being listed where it is, such as being a division of another corporation or renting office space in another company's building, but the thing that gives me the greatest pause is the background process monitoring that appears to be going on. So I guess I'm going to have to pass. Thanks anyway.

Close but no cigar!
I've been always using those tools, ever since sidekick was introduced by Borland (1983-84) DOS OS! Ever since that time, it really changed computing into a value add!

Then Came DDL & DDE (Dynamic Data Link and Dynamic Data Embedding), all of a sudden Personal computing took a detour towards Microsoft best of all time features, which is "Data clipping" and sharing between applications, the infamous "Copy&Paste"!

Microsoft Office secret ingredient of success was solely based on the internal DDE feature, that linked data bits and pieces together in a single document from different sources (Pre-HTML times). It knocked off all competition and remained so for near 3 decades!

The essence of the whole game play is simple, is to keep "related information available and handy upon request by user", thus a Word document could easily contain a spreadsheet view clipped off Excel document, a Slide Clipped off Powerpoint, and so on!

Later, and with the advent of HTML and internet advanced tools, Microsoft (and others) introduced several nifty tools to take that into serious consideration, to the point that they dedicated significant investment was induced into research of a whole new concept, which resulted in a very advanced concept called "Data-recycling" or "data reuse-ability", along with data-portability

Hence, there is OneNote (by Microsoft), and EverNote (was introduced earlier by GAOTD).

The key advantage is this class of application is it really clip your memory content and save them in an such away that is only limited by human mind ability of sorting things! therefore, the user is having the upper hand in the way that data shall be linked logically, irrespective to its nature, be it a simple link, text, a whole webpage, graph, picture, link to an internal document, etc.!

My personal preference is EverNote, yet OneNote is better integrated with the rest of Microsoft products, but Portability is a critical factor in my judgement (Not shy to admit it!)

On the other hand, JetPaste got a very long road ahead of it in terms of being very reliable to deal with serious "information" Savvy professionals, even at a personal level of usage!

My judgement is "Passing" this application for more serious ones, and I will keep using my EverNote which is now offered as Windows Portable, iOS, Android, and MacOS! whereas OneNote is still stuck on Windows OS!

Actually 'PhraseExpress' (suggested as Freeware above) looks very useful and feature packed, but it isn't Freeware. Its a little hefty at $50.00 for the Basic-version and $150.00 for the Pro-version. Yikes!

Although a firm believer in paying the Developers for their blood, sweat and tears, (and knowing it all too well first hand), there are too many free alternatives out there to invest in something like that to the extent they require. PhraseExpress might make a fine GAOTD though. : )

Re: JetPaste: There are too many red flags flying with this product though. For one of a few things. Passwords should NEVER be stored UNencrypted. And where are they actually located? Mind you I have nothing against Casinos, and a little game of chance, but as Developer HQ?? Hmmm... Not so sure about that.

To those concerned with the size of the software download (7MB) compared to alternatives (less than 1MB... in the kb range) I'd just like to point out something you may be missing:

All GAOTD software is distributed within the GAOTD wrapper, which protects the developers' property by making it uninstallable after the offer period runs out. That wrapper is over 6MB in size.

Thus the size of this software is totally in line with its alternatives.

As to using this software, I found it no more difficult nor easier to use than its alternatives. To me, it is your choice what you put into the software's data files to make it more or less secure. And for ease of use, we all have our own personal styles... so you should try JetPaste for yourself to see if it conforms to your own personal style. Technically it runs well enough under Win 7 Ultimate x64, 6GB RAM, Intel Core i5 processor, so it really comes down to your style.

That being said, I do have concerns about the legitimacy of the developer given the nebulous head office address issue.

@ Dave # 27. Thanks. Apparently there is some confusion here about what's free and what isn't. CNet seems to believe the Spartans stuff is freeware, but on their site (blog?) the M8 people want a rather stiff $ 30 for this useful but certainly not life-essential utility But there seems to be a real free version around called "M8 Free Multi Clipboard 17.12" which I downloaded from Tucows (not the only one to offer it). The download is also much smaller that the "Spartan Standard" one: 335 KB vs 1.88 MB!
Anyway, I'll try both.
This JetPaste already offers one of the points from my wishlist: you can either 'hide' it or 'keep it on top'. Well' see...

Spartan was a Giveawayoftheday some time back and I love it. You can create hot key combos for any text stream. It has never failed to work as advertised and seems to have a small footprint. For passwords I would agree that encrytion is a must.

I think this program is too expensive for what it does.You can get backup programs or DVD rip program for $30. You can cut and paste and comments other explain but you can not cut and paste to remove a DVD encryption.The price should be lowered to $7 to $10. I have purchased many software at this price range thru special sales.

After re-viewing the software, I found that this program has background communication sub-routing attached to it, which means, they have an option to see what you are doing at any time.
Uninstalled immediately.

I also use Ditto on a daily base and am rather happy with it. I download lots of freeware, but most of those programs come either with a very cryptic name, almost never the complete version number and sometimes that name is just... setup. That's where Ditto comes in very usefully, combined with the easy to edit pop-up of the excellent downloader that comes with the Maxthon browser. I also do quite a lot of translations "in situ" (to keep the original layout) and that's also a where Ditto comes in very handy. People who are happy with certainly don't use it on a continuous base as I do (with Ditto ;-).

So, if JetPaste does a better job for example, not wanting to be intrusive, Ditto as a furious tendency to close down when it thinks you're finished or you touch (inadvertently?) another part of the screen. Sometimes it will also strip pictures and/or graphics from the document/page chunks it stores...

"You no longer need to store tens and hundreds of frequently used texts in various text files, search for the correct row, select it, copy and then switch to another window to paste the text.
You just have to open JetPaste window, select the desired text from the list, select the window where you would like to paste the text and click the «Paste» button."

Umm the only difference here is that the tens of thousands of frequently used texts are stored in the programs list which WILL span tens or maybe hundreds of pages of lists that you will have to search through too after switching to this programs window... and selecting the correct row of data then copying it using either menu or button and then selecting the target spplicstion making sure the target location in that application is in context then pasting the information... Only advantage over the text file method is the inital loading of the text file... rest seems completely un-optimised by the description, all in all no better than Clipdiary et al...

According to the ddescription no unique or even enhanced selling point at all, so why should anyone buy it or even try it over their existing clipboard enhancment utility?

In Office 2007 I had a number of "auto corrects" starting with a double forward slash like //30s that would auto correct and give me a numbered list from 1 to 30 single spaced. I tried to move this ability to Office 2010 and I can't do it. Seems now the function will only take a single line of material.

But as so often happens, reading the comments above has me back looking at the changes in Office 2010 and I see several tools under "Insert" that might get the job done.

Seems to me the rule to be applied is "The Fewest the Key Strokes as Possible" with every "improvement" in Office becoming more key strokey, cumbersome, and less useful.

So, instead of storing "tens and hundreds of frequently used texts" in text files I now store them in JetPaste. Instead of opening and search a text file I now open and search JetPaste. Instead of storing passwords securely, I store them in JetPaste, where anyone can see them.

ClipMate Remembers everything that you cut or copy to the clipboard.
It works with all Windows programs that work with the clipboard.
Searchable database can hold THOUSANDS of clips, in Text, RTF, HTML, and Bitmap format.
"Shortcuts" place commonly-used clips within easy reach for quick re-use.
PowerPaste™ feature helps you quickly paste a series of clips, or break apart complex data by comma, linebreak, etc.. It's like a bulldozer for your data!
Integration with XP and Vista taskbars for easy access, and visibility of the "top clip".
Powerful re-formatting, editing, case conversion, and even a spellchecker!
Easy to use! Just double-click on a clip in the clipboard history list (ClipList), and it's pasted right where you were working! Or, just drag/drop data right from ClipMate into the target.
Use the "Portable" version to take ClipMate with you on any USB stick, including "U3 Smart" drives.
For $34.95, our Single-User license covers you on two computers, or one computer and a USB stick. Our "Household" license covers up to 5 computers used in the same household for only $79.95, and multi-user licenses are available as well.
Printing - Of course, you can print clips too! The new "paper-saver" feature in v7.3 lets you print several small clips (text or graphic) on a page, if they'll fit.
Sharing - Sometimes you need to share data with a team or workgroup, or just "yourself" at another computer. ClipMate covers all the bases, with support for "live" multi-user databases, or distribution of clips and updates via XML files.
Screen capture by desktop, window, or "area", with support for multiple monitors.
Sometimes you just want to paste without all of the formatting that often accompanies clipboard data. Have you ever re-typed data from a web page because you didn't want to contaminate your document with tables and styles from some web page? If you press the Win+W key, ClipMate will "filter" the clipboard to be plain-text. It's fantastic!

I've just done a search for UpClock Software, Inc. at the Nevada's Sec. of State web page (http://nvsos.gov/sosentitysearch/corpsearch.aspx) and there is no listing of the business. I guess Amy (8) was correct in her assessment of the address.

This app is a lot more sophisticated than Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V as you can give stored text a 'useful' name and store it in 'folder' and easily choose the text you want and copy it without having to block/select the text. The program shows all currently running apps and allows you to Paste into the selected app. This would be very useful for legal secretaries or anyone that uses boilerplate text. Price is a bit steep considering it's limited functionality but it is small and unobtrusive until it's needed. Interface is a bit 'drab' for a company that does consulting work to allows companies to 'showcase their digital media online'!

Whats not to like about it? Small efficient. Plain & Simple. Installation as easy as it gets as was registration. No learning curve as very intuitive and doesn't noticeably slow my XP3 down. The only thing I expect peeps to bitch about is that there are likely to be other free offerings and that they do more. Well, bully for them. This is a keeper for simple me, thanks.

Sorry, GOTD and UpClock, two thumbs down on this one. Why add another program, tray icon, and hotkey, even for free today, when other utilities can store and insert boilerplate text and do so much more besides?

If you're using a word processor, you can use its boilerplate feature, such as MS Word's Building Blocks (formerly AutoText). For similar functionality throughout Windows, try a text expander like PhraseExpress (free for personal use), which I reviewed here some time ago.

Many clipboard managers also store boilerplate, such as my freeware favorite ArsClip, reviewed here. Both these utilities have been improved since those old reviews.

I'd love to try it. But the "Corporate Office" address is a Casino in Reno Nevada USA that I used to visit on occasion. And that raises concerns for me. They also make keylogger software AND have a false address?

Not sure why I would need this but, would anyone in their right mind store their passwords where they are not encrypted? With 85% of all malware being designed to aide in identity theft I think not! Sorry. Don't include that in your description and you may have better luck selling it...

If you have to still manually search for your text, then what's the advantage to using this program as compared to just regularly using copy and paste, find & replace text & formatting from existing documents? Offhand, I don't see a need for this, especially with MS Office and its multiple clipboards in memory. Also using Keywords in the document's properties for searching? Thanks, but I'll pass for now.
